I just logged in for the first time, and was interested to know about everyone here, namely:
1) Age / Location / Occupation
2) What real estate do you own?
3) What's your view on the market going forward? Buyer or seller? Which parts of the market?
4) Anything else?

I'll start:
1) 20s / Singapore (born & raised in Van) / Investment Banker
2) Just getting started....have a few condos in coal harbour...1100-1400sf
3) Quite bearish on the 'commoditized' downtown market e.g., sub 800sf Yaletown type of stuff....as well as the interest rate sensitive segment e.g., multi-tenant, entry level homes in subdivisions......bullish generally on vac'n properties and high end lots/homes.
4) I'm totally flabbergasted at people that mindlessly snap up crappy over-priced condos in less-than-desirable locations (all that new stuff they're building on seymour, richards and vicinity going for $500psf). When does the insanity end?

Take care

and so far my only achievement is recently buying the house my fiance lives in now (i got 5 months to go till i get to move in). well, other then investing in real estate with other investers/partners. which do quite well.

but real estate is a definete facination for me. i'm glad my fiance usually drives because my eyes are always on the houses, and if i was driving i'd be all over the road. hoping to get into it more. but with current prices, i'm going to need to save up a little more for the next downpayment, unless completly re-painting our house raises the equity enought to refiance.

can't remember the other questions

getting out of your comfort zone is the only way you become sucessful, for you learn to reach for the stars.
